Treatment of Tuberculous Empyema by Intrathoracic Transposition of a Latissimus Dorsi Muscle Flap.
117 South Korea has the highest prevalence of tuberculosis among the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development nations [1], despite the management of pulmonary tuberculosis with antituberculosis drugs. Therefore, South Korea also has a relatively high prevalence of tuberculous empyema, a complication of tuberculosis that accounts for 3%–6% of all cases of empyema [2]. A chronic, act...
متن کاملWhole or split latissimus dorsi muscle for intrathoracic transposition
We read with interest the paper by Abolhoda et al. about a harvest technique for pedicled transposition of latissimus dorsi muscle, and congratulate the authors [1]. We are used to transpose intrathoracically the whole latissimus dorsi muscle to obliterate an infected apical or mid-thoracic dead space and we use the same technique as described by the authors but we have modified the harvest tec...
متن کاملProximal vascular pedicle preservation for sartorius muscle flap transposition.
BACKGROUND A variety of muscle flaps have been described to treat complex groin wounds associated with infected and/or exposed femoral vessels or vascular grafts and persistent lymphatic leaks, and for prophylaxis against wound breakdown following inguinal lymphadenectomy. The sartorius muscle flap has several advantages over other muscle flaps: it is immediately adjacent to the groin, it is ea...
متن کاملBiomechanics of the rhombic transposition flap.
OBJECTIVE To develop a computational model of cutaneous wound closures comparing variations of the rhombic transposition flap. STUDY DESIGN A nonlinear hyperelastic finite element model of human skin was developed and used to assess flap biomechanics in simulated rhombic flap wound closures as flap geometric parameters were varied. SETTING In silico. METHODS The simulation incorporated va...
متن کاملcomparison of the rhomboid fasciocutaneous transposition flap with primary simple closure in the treatment of uncomplicated pilonidal disease
background pilonidal disease is a common condition that affects younger people in which over half of the affected patients present with a sacrococcygeal abscess. this study was performed to compare the outcome of excision and primary closure with that of rhomboid excision and flap procedure in patients with uncomplicated pilonidal disease. methods a total of 90 consecutive patients with piloni...
